Surely, if it does happen each and every, you should be first in line to get the problem fixed under the TSB (or even well before such a bulletin), as that would be EASILY replicated and would have qualified as a transmission problem long ago. If it doesn't happen every single time, then you're making a mountain out of a mole hill, and you shouldn't have chosen to accept the risks, problems, and nuisances associated with buying any refreshed or redesigned vehicle that is produced by human hands- Honda, Toyota, Chinese, Japanese, German, or American. Either learn how to drive the vehicle in such a way that you don't experience the problem temporarily until you get it fixed, or turn in your keys and quickly join one of many anti-establishment camps that can malign from afar.

If you disagree with that, you always have the option to use the American legal system to generate a class action lawsuit that can serve to manifest your severe discontent and that can perhaps compensate you for your threatened sanity. The rest of us are just going to do our best to work within the system and get the work done on Honda's dime as the TSB is supposed to work.

I love Tim.
